Lean Gains for a dummy...help please!

Hey guys,
Want to get started with lean gains and just need to know what macros I should be shooting for and what calorie level. I'm about 210lbs 5'10" and my main goal right now is fat loss. What calorie and macro split should I be at? I would do the two meal per eating window approach. I lift mon wed fri and do 20min HIIT on tues/thurs. Rest on weekends. Also, should I keep the calorie level the same every day?

Obviously, I'd start by finding your maintenance intake and take off about 500 calories. Keep up the hiit but personally I'd add another day of it or some form of cardio. I myself keep my calories the same throughout the week but I do cardio 4 days a week. I keep my carbs pretty low and have found good results with it (taking in low carbs will make you feel pretty sluggish at times). Just make sure your getting enough protein and stay clean. I save my cheat meal for Saturday night. You should be able to have good results with some hard work. Good luck!

Does 20% of calories at 2pm and the other 80% after my workout by 9pm sound good? What do you usually multiply your bodyweight by to get maintenance calories?

I don't exactly know what you mean about the percentages? For maintenance calorie intake I just use a website that lets you plug in some data and gives you an estimation. I use that as a baseline and see how my body reacts and adjust accordingly.

I personally keep my carbs very low. It's worked to my benefit before so I tend to stick with it when I cut. I don't really aim for a certain amount of fat but I eat a serving of peanuts and pb everyday. I also get my fats from my eggs and fish when I eat it.

As for the calories, I would eat at a constant pace all day. I balance my calories evenly throughout the day with my largest meal being dinner. Even though it doesn't include but a few more calories than breakfast and lunch. I eat snacks in between my 3 main meals and try to not let myself go more than 2 hours without eating. Keep your water intake up and you'll see results before you know it.

Bottom line, keep your calories lower than your maintenance and throw some cardio in at least 3 times a week. Stay eating clean and treat yourself to a cheat meal once a week. This is what i've done in the past and had success with. You may find this works or try other things, everybody is different.
